A DUBIOUS LOVER

~ thereluctantpoet ~ Leave a comment

By Charles Robert Lindholm

We Had A History Together
I Knew Too Much To Honestly Believe
But I Tried And Sometimes, I Did
I Can’t Really Explain Why

It Seems So Stupid
When I Think About It
Or Write About It
In Black And White

As Plain As Day,
Bigger Than Life
Right There
In Front Of My Face

With Flashing Red Lights
And Sirens To Warn Me
And My Mind Screaming, No!!
But The Heart Wants
What The Heart Wants,
In Spite Of The Risks
And The Near Certainty
Of A Heartbreak
Up Ahead

Wild Passion
And Pleasure
Joy, Happiness
And The Rush
Of Oneness
And The Feeling
Of Being “In Love”
Were Too Much
To Resist
My Addiction
To You,

A Dubious Lover

MY TOUCHSTONE

~ thereluctantpoet

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Why is it that Love hurts?
Even when things are going right
Being apart puts a hurt on your heart
that’s like being held underwater

Being “In Love” makes silence painful
a crushing need and desire to hear the voice
of the one that soothes your soul

Is it the inner fear,
that feeling of anxiety
from childhood when the lights go out
that we are really alone?

Why do I long to hear Your Voice?
yearn for Your touch
desire to be with You
wrapped up in Your arms 

You are my Touchstone
You are home to me
being with You
reassures me
that I am not alone

I have faith in our love
and it is strong
but sometimes
in the darkness
without a light
in the middle of the night
I need to touch my Touchstone
so I know I’m not alone
or in a dream 

You are My Touchstone
